Short answer

In Tequesta, a mold inspection produces three kinds of evidence: moisture-meter readings on walls, floors, and ceilings, thermal images that show where surfaces run cooler because they are damp, and photographs tied to each reading. Read together, they show whether a moisture problem exists, how far it extends, and whether laboratory sampling would add anything.

Why this matters in Tequesta

Tequesta sits between three bodies of water — the Loxahatchee River's forks, the Intracoastal, and the Atlantic at the Jupiter Inlet — with much of the village around ten feet of elevation. The Village's own flood-hazard guidance says low-lying neighborhoods are subject to considerable flood damage during extended heavy rain, and king tides run September through December, peaking in October and November. Water is not an edge condition here; it frames the whole village, and a mold inspection that ignores the exterior water picture is guessing. Instruments turn that general picture into numbers for one specific house, which is the difference between worrying about humidity and knowing where it has settled.

Two houses on the same Tequesta street can age very differently. One near Constitution Park may take wind-driven rain on a gable end, while a similar home in Rolling Hills holds water at a window sill nobody checks. Sterling works through Palm Beach County homes room by room with a moisture meter, a hygrometer, and a thermal camera, pays extra attention to the air handler closet and the wall behind it, and photographs every reading where it was taken. You end up with a record of what was wet, what was dry, and what deserves a second look.

What we look for in Tequesta homes

These are the conditions an inspection in Tequesta is planned around before the first moisture reading is taken.

  • Three-sided water exposure — river forks, Intracoastal, and ocean — around low village elevations
  • King-tide season each fall, peaking October and November by the Village's own advisories
  • A housing core from the 1960s–70s in every state of renovation

What's included in Tequesta

The scope is the same everywhere Sterling works. The step-by-step detail lives once, on the service page.

Scope

What Tequesta clients receive is the standard Sterling scope: visual assessment of accessible interior and relevant exterior areas, moisture-meter and humidity readings, and infrared (thermal) imaging of accessible surfaces. Not included: destructive or invasive opening of walls, ceilings, or finishes.

$400 flat for properties up to 2,500 sq ft, then $50 per additional 500 sq ft. Full pricing is on the pricing page.

Florida law bars Sterling from remediating a home it inspected for 12 months, in Tequesta or anywhere else. That keeps every finding tied to your property, not a repair sale.
FAQ

Mold Inspections in Tequesta — questions

Often the findings that matter are the ones you cannot see. Given Tequesta's humidity and construction, moisture can sit behind walls, above ceilings, or around HVAC systems well before a visible stain appears. An inspection uses moisture and thermal tools to check those hidden areas objectively.
